New one for me--a manager inquiring as to how our food was immediately after the server finished setting the plates on our table. How are we supposed to know how our food tastes, when we haven't had time to take a bite?

We just said that it looked good. And, I pointed out to our server that he might want to suggest she wait until patrons have had a chance to taste their food before inquiring.

I'mo not opposed to adjectives but find the morphing of adjectives annoying, eg how everything is now Panko encrusted, despite the breading on a number of the items I've ordered being exactly like the old breading and not particularly panko-ish at all.

Eek, someone who clearly needs a lesson in marketing. I love lamb and will eat it in a heartbeat. But if you call it "baby lamb"... I visualize soft brown eyes and a fuzzy little baby, and... no thanks, I'm no monster! A bit hypocritical maybe, but as I said, it's all about marketing.
